Jinkee Choi
Jinkee Choi was born in South Korea in 1974 and currently lives and works in New York. Small found objects are his primary materials, which he minimally deforms into strange figures inspired by illusions from daily life. By revealing how our unconscious world strikes us and how much dominates our real world, he experiments the conflict of meaning between social stereotype and personal desires.

Freee
Dave Beech, Andy Hewitt and Mel Jordan work collaboratively as Freee, an art collective working on cultural strategies for a counter-hegemonic art. Freee’s art practice is a politicization of culture that activates the individual as a member of the public sphere, thus, developing and extending the avantgarde notion of the reconciliation of art and life and the transformation of the social relations of art.
The works combine texts with performances to camera, often in public spaces, that seek to explore the development of counter public spheres. Freee’s Manifesto for a Counter - Hegemonic Art, was launched at the Venice Biennale in June 2007. In September 2007 Freee will have a solo exhibition entitled How to Make a Difference at International Project Space, Birmingham, UK, curated by Andy Hunt.
